EUR/JPY uninspired by Eurozone CPI data

FXStreet (Mumbai) - The EUR/JPY pair trades largely unchanged after the official data in the Eurozone confirmed inflation at the lowest level since 2009.

At the time of writing, the pair traded at 135.38; largely unchanged from the pre-data level of 135.44. The final reading for the Eurozone December CPI came-in line with the estimate of -0.2% year-on-year. Meanwhile, core inflation in December fell to 0.7% year-on-year, from the initial estimate of 0.8%. The EUR/USD pair hardly reacted despite of a fall in core inflation. Meanwhile, the USD/JPY pair continues to trade around 116.40 levels amid lack of fresh cues from the Treasury yields. Consequently, the EUR/JPY remained largely unchanged post the release of the inflation data in the Eurozone.
